Love comes in different shapes and sizes, and it even arrives in droids. The galaxy far, far away has been a witness to many relationships over the last four decades and it continues to be surprised by new romances. An iconic Star Wars character, R2D2, has been a fan-favorite since then, and it turns out, as revealed in a Star Wars canon, that he has a girlfriend whom he already knew for quite some time: Qutee.
R2D2 is best known for his appearance in the original trilogy of Star Wars as an astromech who helped the Rebellion's cause against the Empire. Over the years, R2D2 became an iconic character in the galaxy far, far away who has been associated with the franchise's image and brand. As it turns out, a new Star Wars: Dark Droids crossover, the new D-Squad #3 from Marc Guggenheim and Salva Espín would confirm that R2D2 has a girlfriend who goes by the code QT-KT, or named Qutee.
D-Squad #3 features R2D2 assembling droids to save C-3PO, the golden protocol droid which was one of the first droids in Star Wars to have been corrupted by The Scourge. An astromech joins R2D2's D-Squad which is QT-KT a.k.a. Qutee whom R2D2 has known since Clone Wars. While being droids, R2D2's relationship with Qutee turns out to be similar to the name of the latter, cute.
Will R2D2 return to Star Wars?
R2D2 has always been a star among Star Wars fans. He first appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and had witnessed the whole original trilogy of the franchise. R2D2 also lived through the prequel trilogy and even the sequel trilogy, making the droid a beloved Star Wars character that lived through the different trilogies. He even made a cameo in Rogue One. Currently, with the Star Wars television series being the heart of the franchise recently, R2D2 made various short appearances in Star Wars: Droids, Rebels, The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and lastly, in Part 1 of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
It would not be a surprise to see R2D2 again in any of the upcoming Star Wars shows considering how the characters has been ever present so far in the whole Star Wars franchise. Since he is a droid, this is possible only because he does not have the same lifespan as that of other characters being a programmed droid. Still, to see him with a girlfriend comes as a cute surprise for all.
Star Wars: Dark Droids: D-Squad #3 is available now from Marvel Comics.
